    I don't think any of the Beatles ever met the actress Lawrence is referring to.  They dedicated a song to her.
    Thanks Jay, sadly hating the Beatles doesn't do me any favours with this clue :)

    Correct information Jay and I had only remarked about a connection between the actress and The Beatles. I don't know if they ever met or not, but my clue referred only  to The Beatles song in which her name is mentioned. It appears someone knows the answer then.


  • Final # 213 clues.


  • Nobody is getting this?

    #213:  Circle of Deception (1960)

    #213:  Circle of Deception (1960)

    Correct and well done Jay. The '' Suzy Parker'' track by The Beatles is certainly worth listening to.The song was featured in the film Let It Be ( 1970 ).
  • Not exactly flattering to her though




  • The gorgeous Suzy Parker. 
  •  214 215
     216
     217

    Four more to have you think about.

  • #215 - Yesterday's Enemy (1959)

  • jayn_j said:
    #215 - Yesterday's Enemy (1959)

    Correct.

    Clues for remaining three films are - divided, secret and colour, but in no particular order though.

  • 217 - They were not divided :) 


  • 217 - They were not divided :) 


    Correct. They Were Not Divided from 1950.


  • Final clues are -

    214. An Australian connection.
    216. Also an Australian connection.
  •  As it certainly appears that no one knows the answers for the remaining two quiz images, I will reveal that 214 is The Secret Of Blood Island ( 1965 )  &  216 is The Silver Fleet. ( 1943 ).

    Googie Withers being the Australian connection from the clue.

  • I didn't think these last 2 were that tough and had the answers.  I think maybe people have lost interest in this quiz and it likely needs a break.  Too bad, as I was still having fun with it.
  • Yep still having fun, I knew Blood island, but honestly never heard of the silver fleet.

    Thanks for you support of the quiz Jay, and I am pleased you gained enjoyment from it.
    Yep still having fun, I knew Blood island, but honestly never heard of the silver fleet. 
    Thanks for your support and interest as well Wil, and that you also had fun with it The Australian National broadcaster, the ABC, years ago had the rights to the  majority of the then currently available films from The Rank Organisation. They screened films from this package decade after decade, mainly in the early hours of the morning on ABC television, and this is where I was able to record and view The Silver Fleet. It isn't the greatest film, but if I remember correctly I do believe I enjoyed viewing it at the time.

    As you two are two of the keenest supporters of this quiz I will take your advice Jay and give the quiz a well earned break, but before I  do this I will display three more images that I had sitting in my Drafts folder. I will hopefully bring the quiz back again sometime next year.

    Is 219 The Story of GI Joe?
    Yes correct Bruce, and it took you only three minutes to answer, so well done. The Story Of G. I. Joe was released in 1945.


     An Original 1945 first release poster without a Robert Mitchum image or credit appearing, and a 1949 re-release poster, with the emphasis now on Mitchum who had since become a big star. No dog on the re-release poster though.


  • 218 Wake Island
  • Matt said:
    218 Wake Island

    Correct and well spotted Matt. Wake Island released in 1942. Nice to have the correct answer from the proud owner of this great rare daybill.


  • And to kick off the break, I'll end with 220: Von Ryan's Express (1965).



  • And to kick off the break, I'll end with 220: Von Ryan's Express (1965).


    Correct and well done Wil. I had thought this one may have been the hardest.





    Thank you all for your support and interest in this quiz. Resting it now until next year when it will return. In the meantime I have to run at least one quiz. I had the return of The Horror quiz in mind but there is also Actresses Legs Quiz, Who Are These Actresses quiz?, The Animation Quiz, The Film Noir Quiz or a continuation of the fairly recent revival of The Science Fiction Quiz. All of these were popular in the past. Please let me know if you have a preference to which one it is, either to participate in or perhaps just to enjoy following ?


  • late to the party.  Here is image from 220

  •   221 222 223

    We're back with my most viewed quiz. Matt may like to take a small break from his current quiz to have a think about these images.Everyone is welcome to participate.

  • 221 is Operation Crossbow 
  • Matt said:
